Reasons why Cardiff City are objectively better than Swansea City - a thread:

In response to @JacksAngle and his well structure argument from a Swansea City perspective.

In 109 meetings between Cardiff City and Swansea City (and Town), Cardiff City have won the most meetings, winning 44.

The largest goal scoring difference between Cardiff City and Swansea City was when Cardiff City beat Swansea City 5-0. (1965).

1927 FA Cup Final. In front of 91,000 fans at Wembley, Cardiff City beat Arsenal, 1-0, to become the first club from outside of England to win the FA Cup.

2008 FA Cup Final. Cardiff City were in the second tier and played Portsmouth in the final. 89,874 fans went to the game, and that is the highest football attendance at Wembley to this date.

Swansea City‘s highest achievement is winning the League Cup. Cardiff City’s highest achievement is winning the FA Cup.

Cardiff City have won a league (2nd tier in 2012-13). Swansea City have won a league (3rd tier in 2007-08).

Cardiff City’s highest top tier finish is 2nd. Swansea City’s highest top tier finish is 6th.

This seasons average attendances: Swansea City: 15,500. Cardiff City: 22,000. Ranking Swansea 14th in the average attendances of the league and Cardiff 7th.

2 Cardiff lads have scored against Swansea City in the last 20 years: Joe Ledley and Craig Bellamy. 0 Swansea lads have scored against Cardiff City in 20+ years.

Swansea City’s best ever Manager was from Cardiff, and was a former Cardiff City player, John Toshack.

Swansea City tease Cardiff City fans with “swim away” gestures, but conveniently forget about their fans running away from Newport County fans during the FA Cup meeting in 2006.

Cardiff City are regarded as a “rival club” by Swansea City, Newport County and Bristol City fans. Only Cardiff City fans regard Swansea City as a “rival club.”

Very disappointed to see you bring the Sala incident into it, especially when the case is still ongoing. Some Swansea City fans mocked Sala’s death, and that went viral - so please, stick to facts.

Swansea City fired Francesco Guidolin on his birthday, and made him pay for his own hotel and flights home.

Swansea City made a movie called “Jack to a King”, and tried to make “the Swansea way” a thing. Your fans are literally the only fans who believe that you play a certain way.

Cardiff City have awful owners, oh wait, so do Swansea City. Cardiff City’s owner painted the club red, before turning them back to their original colours. Swansea City’s owner has asset stripped the club, and has laid off 25% of the staff.

Cardiff City HAVE played in Europe, and they also beat Real Madrid, 1-0.

At Euro 2016, Cardiff City had former academy players Aaron Ramsey, Joe Ledley, Chris Gunter, James Collins, in the squad, and currently have Rabbi Matondo and Tom Lockyer there. So please, be factual.

Swansea City have a statue of a former Cardiff City player outside of their stadium, the great man, Ivor Allchurch.

Long story short, we are both a bit shit, aren’t we? And neither club will probably win another major trophy in the next 20 years.

Self-explanatory.
